Since the 80s, the term "Bill Cosby sweaters" has been synonymous with colorful, woolen tops. The veteran comedian was middle aged by the time his hit TV show started, but instantly became a pop culture icon and one of the most impersonated people ever.
Bill Cosby was iconic for his undeniable individuality. He was goofy, but still intelligent. He was able to have fun with his kids, but also impose rules and teach them life lessons. He'd play tricks on his wife then turn around and do something utterly sweet. Bill Cosby became the quintessential TV dad for an entire generation.
Although Bill Cosby sweaters might be his most lasting influence on pop culture, it isn't the only one. There are also the famed pudding pops. You know you want one.
